| Description: | Mi-Car?me is an ancient tradition developed in France to relieve people of the sacrifices of Lent. Since this time, this event has been lost in several places and modified in others. The Acadian region of Northern Cape Breton has successfully kept it alive for over 200 years and celebrates it quite vigorously! | | hits: | 106 | | Added on: | 09-Aug-2002 | | Comments: | 0 |

"On having undergone my initiation,
and having been ordained a shaman,
I swear to be a protector of children
and father of orphans. I shall not withhold
the truth about a sick person?s fate.
May the heavenly father learn of this oath
and may mother-earth witness it."

| Description: | The deaths of villagers are 'celebrated' once or twice a year by the dance of the spirits, performed by dancers with big masks. It is a very energetic dance which, together with the rhythmic music, brings the crowd to great excitement. The dancers are in a sort of competition with each other, each with his group of supporters. | | hits: | 110 | | Added on: | 10-Oct-2002 | | Comments: | 0 |

| Description: | The large size of the theater (in its final form it seated 20,000 people) and the distance of even the nearest spectators from the performers (more than 10 meters) dictated a non-naturalistic approach to acting. All gestures had to be large and definite so as to 'read' from the back rows. Facial expression would have been invisible to all but the closest members of the audience; the masks worn by the actors looked more 'natural' than bare faces in the TDA. The masks of tragedy were of an ordinary, face-fitting size, with wigs attach and open mouths to allow clear speech. Contrary to some later theories, there were no 'megaphones' in the masks, and their decoration and expression was quite subtle, as vase paintings from the 5th and 4th centuries demonstrate. | | hits: | 112 | | Added on: | 13-Jun-2002 | | Comments: | 0 |

| Description: | With all due respect to ruins, monuments and cathedrals, nothing highlights a trip or provides better photo ops than a traditional festival. And few people in today?s world maintain and cherish their age-old customs as do the villagers of Romania. Hardly a week goes by without a religious or secular festival somewhere in this eastern European country. Some of the best, however, take place between Christmas and New Year?s. | | hits: | 112 | | Added on: | 29-Mar-2003 | | Comments: | 0 |

| Description: | Efter kristendommens indf?relse er maskens form?l reduceret til blot at skr?mme b?rn, n?r de tr?ngte til at blive sat lidt p? plads og senere endnu som rene turistobjekter.
Hvor de gamle masker kunne udtrykke begge k?n i samme maske, fremstilles masker nu ofte som par.
